I’ve always been amazed by the sense of sight—how the eye works, sending electrical signals to the visual cortex, which turns that information into a “real time” image. God built in great processing speed so we don’t have to wait for an image to be rendered. The visual cortex merges the image from both eyes and provides a gauge of spatial separation, of...

Much of the world is caught up in what is called the “spirit of the season,” evidenced by a gift-buying frenzy that often puts the purchasers deep into debt...

They eagerly fill each 24-hour news cycle with reports of the aberrant behavior of political leaders and the spectacular and often outrageous activities of...
Is what you believe supported by the Bible? Have you studied the Bible to see what it teaches? Does the Bible say what you think it says? Comparing the case of two cities evangelized by the Apostle Paul illustrates the importance of exercising diligence to prove what the Bible says.
Thessalonica and Berea are two of the cities in which Paul preached and...
